A Special Feature on Coordinating Everyday Necklaces with Dresses to Casually Adorn Important Jewelry 🤍🪞

Coordinate a Simple Necklace with a Dress＊

What kind of necklace will you wear with your dress?

Recently, the trend has been to show off one’s sense of style and preferences with hair, makeup, and earrings (or ear studs), while keeping the neck and décolletage area looking sleek.

In fact, most of the necklaces available at dress shops for weddings tend to have elaborate designs. (Wearing such pieces often makes the overall coordination feel too much.)

Therefore, it seems natural that there are fewer brides who wear necklaces at weddings...

But ***

Recently, I discovered a coordination that made me think, “I want to wear a necklace like this! It’s beautiful ♡.”

That is the idea of pairing a simple, everyday necklace with a dress ♡.

A single diamond necklace or

a one-motif pendant, for example!

I think it's lovely to wear a necklace that is not specifically for bridal use but is something you wear in your daily life at a wedding—it's subtle, cute, and nice ♡

However, there might be people who think, “I can’t really imagine pairing a regular necklace with a dress.”

Let me introduce some actual photos of brides♡

1

Risa (@tim_wd_) who got married at the Palace Hotel.

For the pre-wedding shoot and the wedding day, she wore a single diamond necklace ♡.

Here is a photo from the pre-wedding shoot.

@tim_wd_

This necklace was remodeled from a ring that belonged to her grandmother, who has passed away.

Since her grandmother could not attend the wedding, she wore this precious necklace as a keepsake ♡.

Here is a photo from the wedding day.

The dress is Luna by HATSUKOENDO. A sparkling single diamond on top of the voluminous fluffy ruffle cape.

@tim_wd_

It's cute how the diamond pendant delicately rests at the neck, and

guests who notice the necklace might think, “It must be a precious piece of jewelry” ♡.

Yoko (@chaco_wd_) who got married at the ANA InterContinental Hotel Tokyo.

During her pre-wedding shoot in Marunouchi, she wore the engagement necklace given to her by her husband.

@chaco_wd

This necklace is the Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra necklace in rose gold.

@chaco_wd

It’s wonderful to match Van Cleef jewelry with the dress ♡

Shio (@s.n_wd.) who got married at Kitano Club Sora.

During her pre-wedding photoshoot at Keino Matsubara Beach on Awaji Island, she wore her engagement necklace ♡.

The moment her husband put the necklace on her is such a lovely wedding photo with a story behind it ♡ It’s a precious proposal shot!

A pearl jewelry called Shiratsumikka by NIWAKA.

It has a formal and elegant feel.

Rina (@hr43_217) who got married at The Conda House in Nagoya.

She wore the single diamond necklace she received as an engagement necklace from her fiancé with her dress ♡.

@hr43_217

She mentioned that she couldn’t wear a necklace with her wedding dress due to its material,

but she was able to wear it after changing into a colored dress ♡.

@hr43_217

It seems that she informed the photographer that the necklace was a gift from her husband, and they captured such a lovely photo.

Simple necklaces may not stand out much in photos or videos, but

getting a main shot focusing on the necklace is wonderful for keeping memories alive ♡.

Hitomi (@jin__wedding) who held her wedding at Diastage Tsukuba Forest Terrace.

She wore three different Tiffany necklaces during the ceremony, the first half of the reception, and after the color change ♡.

For the ceremony, she wore the T Smile Pendant that her husband gave her as a birthday gift.

@jin__wedding

For the first half of the reception, she wore the Knot gifted by her parents for her wedding.

@jin__wedding

And for the color change, she paired the Open Heart with her colored dress ♡.

The Open Heart necklace was originally a gift from her father to her mother, and he loaned it to her saying, “You can match everything with Tiffany, so please use it in your wedding!”

It’s a lovely piece of something borrowed for something new ♡.

Dress × Simple Necklace♡

I introduced the coordination of brides wearing simple necklaces that are used in everyday life with their dresses.

It was wonderful to see that everyone was wearing meaningful and precious jewelry, like heirlooms from their grandmothers or engagement necklaces, or special gifts ♡.

When I told a future bride friend about this coordination, she mentioned, “I might wear the pendant I received from him on my first birthday together ♩,” and I thought that was wonderful too!

One day, after having children and grandchildren who reflect on their own wedding,

it would be dramatic if I could say, “Actually, I still wear this necklace from that time.” ♡

I highly recommend this coordination!♡
